What happened to the girl that broke out at Sundance? Didn’t ABC want her for this?
Oh great. Hopefully in this show (as opposed to Without A Trace), she’ll actually be able to understand the words that are coming out of her mouth.
DEVIOUS MAIDS just might win the award for the hottest cast this pilot season.
I wonder if the first episode will revolve around someone dying and these four women try and find out who did it.
great news for angelique cabral. i’ve seen her in some things and she is talented, but i find it strange to call her a “newcomer” since she’s been working since 2004.
Not a shock. Cherry has said she was close to landing the Gaby part on DH. And she was briefly attached to another ABC pilot two years ago too.
Cabral has been working nearly ten years to become an overnight success!
Dania Ramirez is the weakest link here. Not good on Heroes. Not good on Entourage. And laughably awful in Illegal Tender. ABC would be wise to replace her with someone audiences will like more.
YES! Someone like GINA LA PIANA…Who is a friend and a kick ass actress & SINGER SONGWRITER RECORDING ARTIST! ANYWAY, I know she was fighting to be seen by Marc, but they just keep recycling the same old tired faces! It’s a pity! It’s the reason why reality shows are so successful! People want to see folks on screen they can also relate to. The under dog! But I guess Rosalyn is a latin Barbie, and Dania has a name. Whatevs. Can Rosalyn even sing??? Another pretend singer wanna-bee. Wake up ABC, and give the people what they want, instead of force feeding us the same old slop every week!!! Thanks for your honesty Bruno
I know Angelique Cabral. I like Angelique Cabral. But Angelique Cabral is not Latin. Not one bit of Latin in her family.
Congratulations Angel
I don’t like Roselyn Sanchez. I don’t find her attractive. Besides, she’s a bad actress. She was dreadful on Without A Trace.
If you’ll do a bit of research – Cabral is a traditional Spanish name… How well DO you know her?
